Review quotes
"Engelberg, a psychologist, pens a simple and compelling story of parental depression... Haley illustrates depression with dark clouds, adding layers of texture to brighten the clouds and present depression in the story as an illness, not a villain. By the end, Ella's understanding of Daddy's behavior transforms the clouds of depression into a rainbow of hope... Hold tight to this gentle story about depression."— "Kirkus Reviews"
